Ouran High School Host Club, Vol. 10 by Bisco Hatori My rating: 5 of 5 stars Full star dedicated to Mei alone... She's the only one in this series so far that has any common sense. 😅 View all my reviews

The Horse and His Boy

Image
The Horse and His Boy by C.S. Lewis My rating: 5 of 5 stars "I am telling you your story, not hers. No one is told any story but their own." 4.5 ⭐... I remember this one being my favorite when I was younger. But ugh! I cannot get past how uncouth and tasteless a name like "Calormen" was on Lewis's part. What is more, it is such an unimaginative name for such an inventive author. From the perspective of an adult, that particular nomenclature decision was irredeemable, and it put a damper on the story itself. I am a sucker for stories in settings like this ( Arabian Nights fangirl that I am), so that is probably why I always loved this one so much. Also, I think you are great, Aravis, but "Cor" is most definitely not a nicer name than "Shasta." ❧ View all my Goodreads reviews.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis My rating: 5 of 5 stars "... if there's anyone who can appear before Aslan without their knees knocking, they're either braver than most or else just silly." "Then he isn't safe?" said Lucy. "Safe?" said Mr Beaver; "don't you hear what Mrs Beaver tells you? Who said anything about safe? 'Course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the King, I tell you." ❧ View all my Goodreads "reviews."
